介绍（中）	为了纪念美国一百周年，1876年在费城举办了一场盛大的庆祝展览，对所有类型的艺术都产生了影响。宾夕法尼亚州制造了一种特殊类型的百年被子，以美国鹰为特色，这些图案从1782年开始就非常流行，当时美国大陆会议通过了美国大印。像这个例子一样，这种被子包括四只鹰，每个角落一只，它们的翅膀展开，头都朝中心。宾夕法尼亚州中部的县，尤其是联合县、斯奈德县、中部县和克林顿县，最常发现白色背景的四鹰被子。在这个例子中，这种带有橙色或黄色地面的图案的被子是在宾夕法尼亚州德国人较多的县制造的，如黎巴嫩、伯克和兰开斯特。大多数过时的例子来自19世纪80年代，但这种图案的被子是在20世纪20年代制作的。
介绍（英）	In commemoration of the United States’ one hundredth birthday, a great celebratory exhibition took place in Philadelphia in 1876, and proved influential on the arts of all types. A particular type of Centennial-era quilt was made in Pennsylvania that featured American eagles, which were extremely popular design motifs beginning in 1782, when the Great Seal of the United States was adopted by the Continental Congress. Like this example, such quilts include four eagles, one in each corner, their wings outspread and their heads all facing center. Four Eagle quilts with white backgrounds are most often found in the counties of central Pennsylvania, especially Union, Snyder, Centre, and Clinton Counties. Quilts in this pattern with orange or yellow grounds as in this example were made in counties with larger Pennsylvania German populations, such as Lebanon, Berks, and Lancaster. The majority of dated examples are from the 1880s, but quilts in this pattern were made through the 1920s.
